Discover Barnet – shop local

Barnet's local businesses are at the heart of a buzzing, caring and vibrant community. Whether you’re visiting your old favourites, discovering hidden gems or supporting a newly opened venue, take time out to Discover Barnet and choose to shop local!

Barnet has more high streets and town centres than any other London borough, with more than 26,000 businesses, the majority being micro-businesses operating with a few employees. Purchasing locally really can make a difference to small business owners.

It’s the people behind these local businesses that truly make a difference – passionate individuals, many of whom give back by supporting local charity work and fostering a sense of community. By helping them you are not only saving local jobs but also supporting your community. Our high streets can only thrive if we continue to support their diversity and help businesses grow.
